Have to say I'm really disapointed about the meet and greet. I heard somewhere that they were going to have a Minnie meet and greet at the Boarding House so very unhappy that they have stuck a bear who looks like he should be in a Bear Factory shop instead. My children have never heard of him so at least it's one queue we will not have to wait in!

Minnie is meeting in Santa's Village in a cute little Christmas dress!

Duffy meet and greet is set up near the Storybook Shop but he wasn't meeting on Friday

Actually Minnie is at the Boarding House in the morning and Duffy is there in the afternoon. In the afternoon minnie goes to santa's village to join the other characters who are already there (Pluto with reindeer antlers for example).

Any news on/sightings of Duffy over the last few weeks? Last I heard he was returning to the Boarding House for his sailor meet 'n' greets? :D

He is in the window of my local Disney Store and is being sold on the UK Disney Store website too, so hopefully this means he will have more presence in the parks!

I loved his Valentine's Day outfit! When I popped into the Disney Store I used to work in, they told me sales of Duffy have been a bit underwhelming :( Apparently he is considered more of a 'boy toy' yet apparently boys just aren't really taking to him, so they are considering bringing in Shellie May so that girls can get more involved. I'm a girl and I love my Duffy though :(

Can someone explain duffy to me.... I mean hes cute and all but just who is he? He makes absolutely no sense to me at all... and until the thread opened on here i didnt even know he existed.... And in my disney store the duffys where kept on the 'princess' side of the store as opposed to the 'cars/spiderman etc' side... Which would imply they where for girls even though there was only male character outfits for him (woody and buzz to name 2)



Ps. I have this funny feeling i have posted this before.... If i have i apologise (cant see a comment on it in my posts thing in the control pannel area but i could have missed it)

Have you tried you tube, we watched the mickey mouse cartoon before we went last year so our daughter would know who he was before she meet him. Its a great little cartoon and such a cute story.

I had no idea that there was a cartoon explaining Duffy - I'll have a look for it! I love Duffy none the less - we met him at the joint meet and greet with Mickey, and they were both wonderful with my daughter and very funny. Great memories :D

Does anyone know what is going on with Duffy at the moment? DisneylandParisFans tweeted this yesterday: "Les horaires Duffy ont été enlevés car c'est Dingo en premier qui doit venir à votre rencontre à Boarding House" which roughly translates to "Duffy's schedule has been removed because Goofy will be meeting you first at the Boarding House".

I am confused as to quite what this means? It doesn't sound like Duffy has gone exactly, but why will Goofy be meeting first? Do you think it just means that Goofy is there in the morning and Duffy is there in the afternoon?

I really hope Duffy isn't being taken away again, I love that bear :oops:

Duffy was infact out this week at the Boarding House, my friend saw him. I also asked a few CM friends who have told me that if no friends of Duffy are available then that is the reason why he is not at the Boarding House. As far as I know he isn't being removed for good. He just might not appear as often due to lack of friends.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow....Your always a day closer to my next Disney trip :)

Thankyou so much! I think it might have been you I spoke to you Twitter - it's so hard keeping up with who is who on each site haha but I knew you were also VoyagesWithDuffy hence my question :) I'm so glad Duffy's still around, we're going back in June and I'm so excited to meet him again, he's my favourite ;)
